The Gustav Baller Show

MAX REVIEWS FISHBONE. NICK REVIEWS TAY TAY 1989 TAY TAY'S VERSION. THE RESULTS WILL SHOCK YOU.

WE'RE BACK. AND SOBER. GET A PREVIEW HERE OF THE SEASON TO COME. THANK YOU FOR PATIENCE.

it's the first in-person taping of the GBS. unfortunately, nick and max hate spending time with each other and both of them are at wits end. we talk about the saxophone and other gbs related projects. i didn't mention the sick ass sandwich i had or how i think "rip ass" should mean something good instead of being a euphemism for fart.

October isn't the spookiest month because of Halloween, it's the spookiest month because of Sober October (Octsober, as some call it). Max and Nick got together to listen to Gregorian chant and really make things worse for themselves. That music is terrible. So is not drinking.

Our Introduction to Orchestral Instruments continues with the Trombone and the wildest man to ever do it, Oquendo. This was recorded sometime in September but Audacity crashed and I was really too lazy to go back and fix it but here it is!!!!!

Everyone knows the best part of this stupid ass show is the music Nick writes. Somehow, Max convinced Nick he should write a whole album in the style of the GBS music, focusing on a single composer and HERE'S THE RESULT. IT FUCKING ROCKS SACK. IT'S GOT EVERYTHING: MAHLER, LEONARDO DICAPRIO, BERNSTEIN, FREE JAZZ SAXOPHONE, WHAT MORE COULD TF YOU WANT FROM ONE ALBUM???? Anyways, if it isn't featured on Pitchfork's "Best New Music" by the end of the day I'm gonna do an I Think You Should Leave quote I can't really put in writing without getting the authorities called. 

Kenzie returns to teach Nick and Max the history of the violin in 10 pieces, like those pop-history books you see everywhere. We learned a ton and had a great time!!! Come back to learn about the other instruments later!!!!!!

IT'S SUMMER VACATION BABY (at least for the idiot still in college, the other guy teaching public school still has a way to go), so here Nick and Max drink 40's and talk about their combined 40 favorite music related things, or some number close to 40, who really knows. We'll be back next month with a lecture from noted Prussian War expert Kenzie who is gonna teach us about the violin and some its most important repertoire. SEE YA THEN!!!!!!!

This episode is about two musicians, Ludwig van Beethoven and John Coltrane, with whom all that follow must reckon, discussed by two idiots, Nick and Max, who really don't know shit about shit. 

Things are bad, how about listening to a podcast that's even worse? Max's audio got fucked up but you can still hear him, just sounds like he's calling in from the Canadian trucker convoy. Who knows, maybe he was. We discuss Messiaen, do Andy from The Office style album reviews, and play Louis Primska. Thanks for listening!!!!!
